Danny Devero (r) and Natalie Mandeau (c) protest in front of San Francisco’s City Hall building on November 20, 2012. San Francisco lawmakers voted to outlaw most public nudity, despite protests in the famously free and easy California city -- including a naked demo outside City Hall. The city’s Board of Supervisors approved a ban proposed by Scott Wiener; its Castro neighborhood is a gay hub where so-called Naked Guys regularly hang out. The law was approved by 6 votes in favor to 5 against at an afternoon meeting, at which Wiener said the move was long overdue.
